TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (WTHI) – One organization hopes to take a few strides towards a cure.

The Terre Haute Great Strides Walk is coming up on Sunday, May 4th.

It’s a 5K walk that will benefit the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

Cystic Fibrosis is a genetic disease that ravages the lungs and digestive system.

The 5K will take place at Hawthorne Park.

Organizers of the event say it’s a great way to spread awareness.

“If you’re interested in learning more or if you’d like to be a part of the walk or register a team or an individual. You can just visit the website at cff.org, and we will guide you through everything you’d like to know,” Michelle Kirby said.
